ZOOM OUT TO EXPLORE

Indoor Welcome Last Verified:

The Sole Bay Inn is a dog-friendly pub in the heart of Southwold where dogs are welcome inside alongside their humans. Whether you're settling in for lunch or dinner, your dog can supervise proceedings from under the table while you enjoy proper pub hospitality in one of Suffolk's most loved coastal towns.

Food is served throughout the week, with lunch available Monday to Sunday and dinner Monday to Saturday, so there's plenty of opportunity to refuel after a blustery walk along the beach or a wander through the town's pastel-painted streets. The pub opens daily from noon until 10pm, making it a practical pitstop whatever your timetable.

With its central Southwold location and a genuinely welcoming attitude to four-legged visitors, the Sole Bay Inn is the sort of place where tangled leads and sandy paws are all part of the day. It's a proper town pub that knows a good dog day out involves keeping everyone together.
